Meine kleine Weltreise

Zwischen zwei Vorlesungen einmal um den Globus: 14 Tage, 40 Stunden Transport, fünf Länder und zwei Kontinente. Im Herbst 2012, zu Beginn des Semesters, bin ich auf kostengünstige und effiziente Weise einmal nach Tokyo und zurück.

2Takter

Three years ago, drum enthusiasts Julian and Leo from Gehrden near Hanover wanted to try something new. They fetched three old oil drums from the gas station and began to play on them. Gradually, the two of them got more and more new »instruments«.
